As Ever, Gordy. By Mary Downing Hahn

The whole Gordy Smith series is great, As Ever, Gordy is a really good melancholic novel that puts you in the shoes of a misbehaving kid in a world that doesn't seem to want him.

I can't say much else without spoilers or references to the other books, but it's stuck with me for at least twenty years as one of the best fiction books I've ever read.

I used to belong to an all woman’s book club and we only read female authors. Our book club did not survive COVID. Honestly, just do a quick search on ‘Jane Eyre book club questions’ and chose the ones you find most interesting.

Not the book you are looking for, but you may also enjoy the bizarre ‘As she climbed across the table’ by Jonathan Lethem, about a wormhole into - possibly - another universe, and a researcher who falls in love with it.

You might not realise this now, but I hope that one day you'll figure out that your view on women is being shaped by frequenting parts of the internet which are populated by misogynistic men who have no understanding of, or empathy for real women, and instead have built a false idea of what women are like which makes them feel better about themselves.
